Report: Obama Eyes Sanctions On Israel
While Giving Iran A Pass
While Giving Iran A Pass
(U.S. ally Israel building homes in eastern Jerusalem is viewed more of a world threat to Obama than Iran with illicit nuclear weapons? -Linkster)
By Joel Himelfarb, Newsmax — Senior White House and State Department officials have recently met to discuss the possibility of imposing sanctions on Israel in an effort to stop housing construction projects in eastern Jerusalem, Haaretz reported.The report – which comes as the Obama administration is lobbying furiously against new sanctions on Iran over its illicit nuclear program – is likely to trigger new, bipartisan concern on Capitol Hill over the direction of U.S. Mideast policy.
The Israel sanctions discussions are said to have begun after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the White House in October and clashed with the administration over the construction of a new housing development in that part of the city.
The administration warned Israel that the project would raise questions about Israel’s commitment to peace with the Palestinians. Netanyahu replied that Israel does not accept restrictions on where Jews can live, and that Arabs and Jews in the Israeli capital should be allowed to purchase homes wherever they choose.
On Thursday, State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf dodged questions on whether the administration was considering sanctions against Israel, saying she would not comment on “internal” deliberations.
The possibility of sanctions has “prompted consternation on Capitol Hill and throughout the pro-Israel world,” The Washington Free Beacon reported.
“If these reports are true, this would mark a new era of unprecedented hostility from the White House against our strongest ally in the Middle East,” a senior congressional aide stated. “It’s impossible not to notice the irony of the administration mulling sanctions on Israel while threatening to veto new sanctions against Iran.”
“The president should be forewarned that taking such action against Israel would yield tremendous pushback from Congress,” the aide added.
Pro-Israel activists expressed similar concerns about reports that the administration is considering sanctions on Israel while fighting them on Iran, which opposes the Jewish state’s existence.
“Even this administration, which has been historically hostile to our Israeli allies, even as they worked overtime to bomb the enemies of Iranian proxies across the Middle East, could not possibly be so aggressively committed to undermining our alliances as to levy sanctions against Israel at the same time they’re lifting them on Iran,” a senior official with a pro-Israel organization told the Free Beacon.

We urge you and your administration to clarify these reports immediately,”...Iran Supreme Leader Brazenly Boasts of Terror Support

By Ryan Mauro, The Clarion Project — Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Hosseini Khamenei openly and audaciously praised Iran’s support of terrorist organizations, saying that in this regards, the Iranian regime is not “bound by religious differences.” In a televised broadcast, Khamenei boasted about how Iran has helped Hezbollah in Lebanon (who are Shiites) as well as Hamas and Islamic Jihad (who are Sunnis). Khamenei also vowed to continue to do so in the future. When it comes to support of these groups, Iran’s highest authority said...So Sorry Girly Men

CleanTV: Family-Friendly Television and Video On Demand
Partial Transcript: In the aftermath of the Ferguson, Missouri looting and rioting, there’s a glaring question: Why wasn’t the National Guard deployed to quell the violence. Some, including the most listened to talk show host in America, are speculating on if President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder might be the culprits who may have encouraged this inaction.
The following are some quotes from Rush Limbaugh’s talk show on the topic of the inaction by the Missouri National Guard:
“Somebody wanted this to happen. The ongoing theory is that the White House or Washington – the Attorney General Eric Holder – called the governor of Missouri, Jay Nixon, and told him not to deploy the Guard. Because it looks like they were ready to go. They had been called up and they were placed on ready status. And then they were not used. And the feeling is that the order came from some high authority in Washington not to deploy them. I don’t know why.
“It is a mystery as to why. Speculate is about all we can do. Why would the DOJ, why would Holder, why would Obama not want the Guard in position to stop some of this? Based on everything we know now, why would that be preferred?
“We all knew what was coming. It was scripted. Nobody made a move to stop it! The cameras were in place. The media was in place. The only question was: How many cars will burn? How many stores will be destroyed? How many Molotov cocktails? Just how big the destruction? No effort to stop it. The media didn’t want it stopped. It was great programming. That’s why I say get the cameras out of there and a lot less of this kind of crap goes on but that’s never gonna happen either.” ... read full transcript here

Obama’s Anti-Militarization Move On Police A Devil In Disguise
“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.” - Sen. Barrack Hussein Obama, 2008 speech
By Cheryl Chumley, NewsWithViews.com — As much as police need some oversight -- as much as police militarization is an issue that's worthy of review and reform -- President Obama's executive action to rein in local police powers is not the way to go. Why? In the end, America is going to be left with little more than a federal law enforcement force, rather than the civilian, localized supposed servant-to-the-people-type departments that currently dot our communities. Here's how it's going to morph. Obama, in response to the grand jury...Here Congress Goes Again

By Ben Barrack, Shoebat.com — In the days after Egypt’s President Mohammed Mursi was removed power last year, a White House petition was started that called on the Obama administration to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. Sixteen months later, we finally have a response.It reads (h/t DC):
“We have not seen credible evidence that the Muslim Brotherhood
has renounced its decades-long commitment to non-violence.”
Here is a screen shot of the entire White House statement on why its defense of the Muslim Brotherhood:

Regarding The Last Days
“And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” ~ Matthew 24:3-14
